Chongju, Democratic People's Republic of Korea (KP)

Several odd structures around and in this pond.

If you zoom in using Google Earth it appears that the numbers next to the building on the northwest edge of the pond read 4.15 2.16.

Interesting... then what is this? Some sort of private retreat house?

Considering the paranoia and grandness with which this ruler does things (go to Google Earth and look at Pyonyang some time) I doubt he'd ever really come here. The first thought I had was some taody trying some blatant falttery of the boss.

two massive buildings, man made lake and islands, couple of huge monuments nearby, it's definitely someone or something important... Doesn't look military either.
